About Maharlikas

Maharlikas is the sovereign Layer-1 blockchain of the Philippines. Built on Rust, secured by Proof-of-Stake, and designed with a dual mission: to guarantee government transparency and empower citizen innovation.

Mission

Make every peso traceable on-chain, ensure public funds are transparent, and empower developers and communities to build sovereign dApps that strengthen democracy.

Vision

A Philippines where citizens trust data, not promises. A blockchain infrastructure that turns public finance, innovation, and governance into an open, verifiable ledger for all.

Core Pillars

Sovereign Infrastructure

Rust-based PoS chain. Validator set across LGUs, agencies, civic orgs, and citizen operators — no foreign dependency.

AI + ZK

Citizen copilots for anomaly detection, Q&A on budgets, and ZK flows for privacy-preserving subsidies.

Innovation Layer

₱1-level gas fees, SDKs, and AI copilots empower Filipino students, startups, and innovators.

Community Governance

DAO-based decision making: citizens, NGOs, and validators shape the chain’s future.

Our Story

August 2025 — Project Kickoff

Formal start of the Maharlikas initiative. Core team formed, principles drafted (sovereignty, transparency, inclusion), and a public call for contributors announced.

Late 2025 — Specs & Alpha Tools

Draft protocol specs and governance model published. Internal devnet, early CLI/SDK scaffolds, and an alpha explorer prototype released for contributors.

2026 — Public Testnet

Public testnet opens for community operators. Wallet, staking UX, and citizen copilots expand; pilots for procurement and subsidies begin with civic groups and interested LGU partners.

2027+ — Mainnet (Planned)

Budgets, procurement, and subsidy flows verifiable end-to-end on chain. A durable foundation for citizen-powered accountability and local innovation.

Community First

Maharlikas is by the people, for the people. Anyone can run a node, stake ₱MAHA, propose improvements, or build applications. The chain’s strength lies in collective participation.
